"Cougar Town has been everything we hoped it would be: a smart, big-hearted, laugh-out-loud comedy that shines a bright light on the TBS brand," the network's president of programming Michael Wright said on Monday evening.

"This season, the brilliant cast and immensely creative production team on Cougar Town have crafted their best episodes yet, and we couldn't be happier inviting them back for more."

Cougar Town has provided TBS with some of its strongest ever ratings for an original primetime series in the key 18-49 age demographic. The network picked up Cougar Town this season after it was dropped by ABC, where it began life in 2009.
